lovin your work there guys
G'evening hekarewe,
Top job on your build there mate! It is a credit to you!
Regards,
RLI
thanks RLI its a work inprogress at the moment the real credit goes to the guys at Torq4x4 who do the hard yards for me and make the old girl look good.
Hekarewe is staying in at Torq4x4 for an extended stay thanks to some piss poor frieght handling on Northlines transport behalf.
not only does it take Northline a WEEK to deliver from Melb to bris (are you kidding what sort of micky mouse out fit are they?????) but they managed to bend my new custom made rear bar before we even got to fit it!!!!!! (F^%$^*KING HOW??????) NORTHLINE you have been voted of the island you pack of tosses!!!
Vent over
Good vent there mate,Would be really pissed that they bent the bar.
Yep most transport company's employee's don't give a toss about the freight they are moving about, I packed a pallet a few months ago of Glass Terrariums so pallet was at least 120x120x160, the dispatch manager came over to me 3 or 4 days later and said the pallet had disappeared *L* Was not Northline but we do use them on odd occasions.
I have been in the industry as both driver local and interstate and as an ops manager for the large transport company at total of over 25 years the way the industry has gone absolutely disgusts me now there are no more true truck drivers any more just steering wheel attendants and as for the frieght handlers thats just an art that is now a distant memory at the end of the day though it all falls at feet of the management in ntransport you have to micro manage everything and be every where to be above the cowboy amatures its a big job but it can be done they just have to care about more then just the bottom line. unfortunatly its not just transport going this way these days seems to be everywhere people just dont give a sh*%T like they use to,,,, where has work ethics and pride gone???Quote:

so it is up to Milweld eng to sort it out and pick up the bill on the repair and then they can fight it out with northline i feel for Dave and Murrie at Torq4x4 as theey have become the innocent meat in the sandwich
